Description

Description ;

The invention relates to a toy designed as a rocket-propelled missile system. 5

Rocket propelled missiles designed as toys are known per se. It is also known with such Toys to connect sound-generating devices to the rocket sound produced during the launch as To simulate noise of increasing intensity.

The invention is based on the object of developing such toys to make reality even better

to imitate than before.
15th

This object is achieved according to the invention by simulating a rocket-propelled missile system, which has the following characteristics in combination:

a) a mother missile has a fuselage with an opening leading into the interior,

b) a rocket engine is provided for the purpose of simulating the drive,

c) Covering means for the opening in the fuselage are between an open and a closed position movably mounted on the fuselage and

d) a rocket-propelled miniature missile is either inside the fuselage or on the in the closed position cover releasably attached.

Further features of the invention emerge from the subclaims.

". The inventive training of the toy leads to an excellent imitation of real missile systems such as so-called space shuttles and is versatile suitable and stimulating to many different

Combination games with all or individual parts of the Toy system. All combinations that can be used are fascinating and engaging for children and bring them to life enjoy playing.

The invention is described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of the mother missile with a fuselage cover in the open position, in which a miniature missile and other features of the missile system according to the invention are visible

FIG. 2 is a side view of part of the missile system according to FIG. 1 with the miniature missile in the one coupled to the mother missile but swiveled out and representing a take-off position Position,

Figure 3 is a plan view of part of the mother missile 1 with the cover closed and the miniature missile located thereon ,

FIG. 4 shows a section along the line 4-4 in FIG. 3

with the one on the closed cover of the

Miniature missile located in the mother missile
and

Fig. 5 is a plan view of the miniature missile

with the rocket engine of the

Mother missile.

As FIG. 1 shows, a so-called mother missile 10 has a fuselage 12 with a cockpit 14 in which a seat 16 is mounted displaceably with a pilot 18. The seat is hand-drawn from a flight position - dashed drawn - movable to a retracted position.

in which the pilot can be removed. Suitable interlocking means, which are not shown here, hold the seat 16 in the respective flight or withdrawn position.

* The mother missile 10 has, like FIGS. 1 and 2 show a miniature missile 20 which is releasably mounted in the fuselage of the mother missile. To this point the fuselage has a pair of vertical spaced apart brackets 22, each one vertical 'Have slot 24, in which the side of the miniature missile protruding round projections 26 engage, as soon as the miniature missile is stored in the fuselage of the mother missile. To these extensions 26 is the Miniature missile can be pivoted into a pivoted-out position representing a take-off position, as shown in FIG Fig. 2 is shown. A coupling with a flexible hook 28 engages a shoulder 30 of the miniature missile one to make it detachable in the starting position

to keep.
20th

The miniature missile also has a pivotable canopy 32 to open the miniature missile, so that a pilot 18 located in this can be removed.

As FIG. 2 also shows, the fuselage 12 is the mother missile 10 provided with an opening 34 around the end 36 of a so-called life-sustaining line detachable to include. The opposite end 40 of this line can also be releasably inserted into an opening 42 in the Back of the pilot 18 are plugged. The opening of the fuselage 12 is covered with a cover in the form of a Pair of hinged gates 44 covered. The gates are on the body 12 with the help of overlapping springs 46 or similar hinged and hold the gates in the open and closed positions. Each of the gates 44 has a rail 48, each running along the top

Edge of the gate extends. In the closed state of the gates, the rails 48 together form a cross-section T-shaped carrier or support, which is used to hold the miniature missile 10. To this end, the Miniature missile on its bottom surface a plate 50 which is provided with a T-shaped groove 52, in which the T-shaped carrier engages as soon as the miniature missile hits the closed gates of the fuselage 12 of the Mother missile is pushed.

Another source of gaming entertainment is a detachable rocket motor 54 removed from the mother missile can be removed and plugged onto the miniature missile for an additional rocket thrust to simulate.

The mother missile 10 is also known per se, not shown devices for generating various Noises, such as the rocket noise increasing in intensity during take-off, telemetry noises, Beeps, warning signals associated with warning lights and the like. For this purpose, three are also not shown Snap fasteners on the fuselage 12 of the mother missile 10. Of course, the invention is not based the described embodiment is limited, there are rather, a multitude of changes and modifications possible within the scope of the invention.
